PROJECT NAME: MAGAT Hydroelectric Power Plant


LOCATION: Isabela, Philippines

TEAM PROJECT INVOLVEMENT:

  1. Engineering Technical Consultancy- Operation & Maintenance, Mechanical Systems
  2. Project Engagement Duration: 2011-2018

                          Magat Dam is a large rock-fill dam in the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The dam is on the Magat River, a major tributary of Cagayan River. Construction of the dam started in 1975 and was completed in 1982. Magat Dam is one of the largest dams in the Philippines. It is a multi-purpose dam which is used primarily for irrigating about 85,000 hectares (210,000 acres) of agricultural lands,[1] flood control, and power generation through the Magat Hydroelectric Power Plant.

                         The water stored in the reservoir is enough to supply about two months of normal energy requirements. The dam was constructed to last for 50 years but increased siltation and sedimentation in the reservoir, slash-and-burn farming, illegal logging and fish-caging resulted in the deterioration of the dam’s watershed. The 1990 Luzon earthquake also contributed to the increased siltation in the Magat River system. Because of this, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo instructed various government agencies to create a rehabilitation plan to improve the lifespan of the dam system.

PROJECT NAME: AMBUKLAO Hydroelectric Power Plant

LOCATION: Benguet, Philippines

TEAM PROJECT INVOLVEMENT:

  1. Engineering Technical Consultancy- Operation & Maintenance, Mechanical Systems
  2. Project Engagement Duration: 2011-2018 
 

                                The Ambuklao Hydroelectric Power Plant is one of the oldest power plants in the country and was among the first large hydroelectric power plants constructed in the Philippines. The development of the Agno River for purposes of hydroelectric power generation, flood control, and irrigation had been conceived as early as the late 1940s. Preliminary investigations for development at Ambuklao and Binga Dam sites were undertaken as early as January 1948. Running along the upper portion of the Agno River, Ambuklao Hydro was constructed for power generation and flood control.

                                 SN Aboitiz Power-Benguet, Inc. (SNAP-Benguet) won on November 28, 2007, the public bid for Ambuklao and its neighboring power facility Binga, which were sold as a package under the power sector privatization program of the Philippine government. SNAP-Benguet is a joint venture between SN Power of Norway, and Aboitiz Power Corporation.SNAP-Benguet began a massive rehabilitation project that restored Ambuklao to operating status and increased its capacity from 75 MW to 105 MW. The project required the construction of a new intake, headrace and penstock, elevation of tailrace tunnel outlet, de-silting of tailrace tunnel and replacement of electro-mechanical components. In June 2011, Unit 3 became the first turbine unit to go on-line, followed by the other two units. Ambuklao was formally inaugurated in October 2011. Ambuklao is designed as a peaking plant and is capable of delivering energy and providing ancillary services needed to stabilize the grid.

 

PROJECT NAME: BINGA Hydroelectric Power Plant

                                  Binga Dam is a dam in Agno River connected to a hydroelectric power plant situated at Barrio Binga, Barangay Tinongdan in the municipality of Itogon in Benguet province of the Philippines.

                               The dam was constructed in August 1956 and opened in May 1960 under the government owned National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR), three years after its sister facility Ambuklao Dam. It is located 31 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Baguio City and 19 kilometres (12 mi) downstream of Ambuklao Dam.Improvement of the dam is ongoing for it had received heavy damage during the 1990 Luzon earthquake, and its installed capacity of 100 MW is being upgraded to 140MW. The Binga facility was constructed in 1956 for power generation and flood control. The dam and other non-power components are owned by the government through the National Power Corporation.[2]

                                On November 28, 2007, SNAP-Benguet won the public bid for Binga hydro and its neighboring power facility Ambuklao, which were sold as a package under the power sector privatization program of the Philippine government. It took over operations on July 10, 2008. Only the power components were privatized while the dams remain government-owned. SNAP-Benguet is a joint venture between SN Power of Norway and Aboitiz Power Corporation. In 2010, Binga underwent refurbishment to increase its capacity from 100 MW to up to 125 MW. The project was completed in July 2013. In 2014, Binga underwent uprating work and increased its capacity to 140 MW. Binga hydro operates as a peaking plant and is also capable of providing ancillary services needed to stabilize the grid.

                            The Ichthys LNG Project’s floating production, storage and offloading facility (FPSO) will be used for condensate dewatering, stabilization, storage and export. The 336 metre-long ship-shaped, weather-vaning vessel has been designed to hold more than one million barrels of condensate. The FPSO, will process and store most of the condensate delivered from the Project’s CPF before periodically offloading it to carriers for export to market. Remaining product will be compressed, returned to the CPF via a subsea transfer line and sent to Bladin Point near Darwin via the 890 kilometre gas export pipeline. Once commissioning is completed, the FPSO will be towed about 6000 kilometres to the Ichthys Field in the Browse Basin, offshore Western Australia. It will be permanently moored on a non-disconnectable turret for the life of the Project about 3.5 kilometres from the Project’s CPF and has the capacity to accommodate a workforce of up to 200.

                             INPEX Australia discovered the giant Ichthys gas and condensate field in the Browse Basin in 2000. Located about 220 kilometers offshore Western Australia, Ichthys represents the largest discovery of hydrocarbon liquids in Australia in 50 years. The Ichthys LNG Project is more than 90 per cent complete and is ranked among the most significant oil and gas projects in the world. The Ichthys LNG Project is a Joint Venture between INPEX group companies (the Operator), major partner Total, CPC Corporation Taiwan and the Australian subsidiaries of Tokyo Gas, Osaka Gas, Kansai Electric Power, JERA and Toho Gas.

The Project is expected to produce 8.9 million tonnes of LNG and 1.6 million tonnes of LPG per annum, along with more than 100,000 barrels of condensate per day at peak.

Gas and condensate from the Ichthys Field will be exported to onshore facilities for processing near Darwin via an 890 kilometer pipeline. Most condensate will be directly shipped to global markets from a floating production, storage and offloading facility permanently moored near the Ichthys Field in the Browse Basin.

                                The Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) Project commenced in 2010 on Curtis Island, located off the central coast of Gladstone Queensland. QCLNG involves the construction of a world-class liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant that converts gas from coal seams into liquefied natural gas, commonly known as LNG. The $20.4 billion QCLNG Upstream Works Project is one of Australia’s largest capital infrastructure projects based in the Surat Basin of southern Queensland.

The Queensland Resources Council has dubbed the QCLNG project as a major player in the supply of gas to the world with commercial operations from the project’s first production train operating from May 2015. This project is integral to the Surat Basin, providing an ongoing supply of coal seam gas into the domestic gas market and expanding QGC’s existing gas production in southern Queensland.

                                     Santos GLNG is the operator for an international joint venture that will convert coal seam natural gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) for export to global markets. The multi-billion-dollar GLNG Project in Queensland’s Surat Basin involves developing gas fields in the Surat Basin and transporting the gas via a 420-kilometer underground pipeline to an LNG plant on Curtis Island, near Gladstone. 

Sanctioned in January 2011, GLNG includes the development of CSG resources in the Bowen and Surat Basins in south-east Queensland, construction of a 420-kilometre underground gas transmission pipeline to Gladstone, and two LNG trains with a combined nameplate capacity of 7.8 mtpa on Curtis Island. GLNG has sales and purchase agreements with PETRONAS and KOGAS for 7.2 million tonnes per annum of LNG in aggregate. In 2015, Santos’ share of production was 5.7 PJ of sales gas to LNG and 4.7 PJ of gas sold in domestic markets. A total of 7 cargoes were shipped from GLNG in 2015.
